MATERIALS

Worsted Weight Yarn:

33/4 {31/2 -33/4} ounces, [95{100-105} grams, 185{200-210} yards]

Straight knitting needles, size 9 (5.50 mm) or size needed for gauge

Yarn needle

GAUGE: In Garter Stitch, 4 sts and 8 rows = 1"

SLIPPER

Beginning at Heel, cast on 32{36-38} sts loosely.

Work in Garter Stitch until piece measures approximately 63/4"{73/4 ‑73/4}".

Cut yarn leaving a long end for sewing. Thread yarn needle with yarn end and separately slip each stitch from the knitting needle onto the yarn; gather the stitches tightly and secure end. Sew center front seam to within 4{41/4 -41/2}" of cast on edge or to desired opening.

RUFFLE CUFF

With right side facing, pick up one stitch in end of each row along opening (Fig. 5a, page 3).

Row 1 (Increase row): Knit into front and back of each st across (Figs. 4a & b, page 2).

Exact gauge is essential for proper size or fit. Before beginning your project, make a sample swatch in the stitch, yarn, and needles specified. After completing the swatch, measure it, counting your stitches and rows carefully. If your swatch is larger or smaller than specified, make another, changing needle size to get the correct gauge. Keep trying until you find the size needles that will give you the specified gauge. Once proper gauge is obtained, measure width of piece approximately every 3” to be sure gauge remains consistent.

ZEROS

To consolidate the length of an involved pattern, zeros are sometimes used so that all sizes can be combined. For example, K4{0-1} means size Small would K4, size Medium would do nothing, and size Large would K1.

KNIT 2 TOGETHER (abbreviated K2 tog)
Insert the right needle into the front of the first two stitches on the left needle as if to knit (Fig. 1), then knit them together.Fig. 1YARN OVERS After a knit stitch, before a knit stitch
Bring the yarn forward between the needles, then back over the top of the right hand needle, so that it is now in position to knit the next stitch (Fig. 2).Fig. 2KNIT 3 TOGETHER (abbreviated K3 tog)
Insert the right needle into the front of the first three stitches on the left needle as if to knit (Fig. 3), then knit them together.Fig. 3KNIT INCREASE
Knit the next stitch but do not slip it off the left needle (Fig. 4a). Instead, knit into the back of the same stitch (Fig. 4b), then slip it off the left needle.Fig. 4a

Fig. 4bPICKING UP STITCHES
When instructed to pick up stitches, insert the needle from the front to the back under two strands at the edge of the worked piece (Figs. 5a & 5b). Put the yarn around the needle as if to knit, then bring the needle with the yarn back through the stitch to the right side, resulting in a stitch on the needle.
Repeat this along the edge, picking up the required number of stitches.
A crochet hook may be helpful to pull yarn through.
